Well i now have a TD04L from a 02 WRX with bad oil seals, my question is how can i rotate the center section.. it has the little locater pin in it. Can i remove the pin and place it where i need it? oh also if anyone knows the stock PSI the wastegate opens at on the turbo that would be awsome.. oh and is the oil inlet 1/8in and coolant 1/4in? thanks a ton

I had to grind that "locater pin" off to rotate the housing.

Stock psi is around 7psi, the WRX uses a electric boost solinoid to make it run 14psi.

Pretty sure the oil inlet is 1/4'', I bought the fitting at Ace.

What's it going on ?

thanks for the help, found out oil inlet is 1/8in and no clue on the coolant, i think it's a 12x1.5mm, oh this is going on my built D16A6 motor i cant wait to get the motor done and get it driving, i'm building a turbo upgrade for your GTI 1.8T also so i'm kinda busy

Damn it !! I meant 1/8'' inlet not 1/4''... 1/4'' would be a pretty big oil inlet, hehe...

Turbo upgrade for a 1.8T ?? Like a HMT kinda upgrade or a "$$$$$ turbo" kinda upgrade ?? My friend has an insanly nice GTi 1.8T, its in the 14's with a APR chip, shifter, BOV, and Air intake... Plus, its MAD nice inside !!!

the turbo upgrade is gonna be gettho style of coures!! Will be running a T3 Super 60 on the stock manifold with a adapter plate, all stainless braided hoses, 2.5-3in turbo back, maybe 550ish cc injectors, audi 5000 turbo intercooler, eurosport adjustible FPR and the TurboXS MBC i already have on it for boost control. The car ran a 14.93 with the ABD Racing 1.8T BCS (electronic boost control that surges like mad) a custom intake i made and no rear seat or spair... oh BTW this is a Auto
